How do you play torrents??

Oh my...ok, you don't "play" torrents. Bit torrent is a method of file transfer, whereby the torrent is the file. You need specific software to download torrents...a google search will get you there. (Aezerus seems to be popular around here, although I use Torrent Storm). Once you have the downloaded torrent, it will be a file of some sort...could be audio, video or other. If it's audio, you'll need whatever particular software decompressor to get the file to WAV format that can be played or burned to cd.

Typical audio file formats:

FLAC
SHN

Keep in mind there are plugins that you can download that will allow you to play these compressed file formats on Winamp, assuming you use Winamp as your media player.

Welcome to the 'base, dave_s8. Billy's answer was right on and here's an overview of BitTorrent that may answer any other questions you have. There's a wealth of information here in the forum as well so you may want to browse or search within.

Rock on!
